Cosy little village bakery/cafe/post office. The scones have an incredible texture, served with jam and rich thick cream. The eclairs are simply sublime. Great coffee, and the hot chocolate has a fabulous foam. Much loved spot, the warm heart of the village.

Beautiful place with delicious pastry... Love it so much. Best coffee all over the co Cork. But the most important - kind and helpful personal:) Place you should visit: old-fashioned style furniture with black and white photos on the wall... You cannot miss the flair of coziness...

We stopped here because we really needed some coffee and I have to say that was one of the best lattes we've ever had: you could also choose a syrup. It seems the coffee was locally sourced and had a nougaty aftertaste. This place is an absolute recommendation for coffee lovers.

One of the best places for cakes, coffee and chocolate at Cork county. A small, cosy and friendly shop at Rathcormac village. But the quality of the foods, warm welcome by the staffs and awesome friendly hospitality by the shop owner are notable. A must visit place if you live nearby.

Small Family run cafe and small shop with a post office. Owner and daughter are very pleasant with great coffee and cakes fresh sandwiches made to order. Bread, cakes sandwiches are made fresh in house. Great place to enjoy a lunch. The front is always so well maintained and painted, inside is very clean. Places like this are hard to find, a true gem and the village is lucky to have such a good service. One of Corks best kept secrets is this little gem. Staff are always very welcoming with a smile and a warm welcome. News papers and local produced products are avaliable to buy.
